  • Yodler’s Fondue: A Winter Family Favorite

    This evening my kids helped me create my first contribution to “The International Cooking Show,” sharing our favorite family recipe for fondue. We recorded this in one take on my iPhone, and I edited it in iMovie ’09. I used the iMovie settings shown in Steven Sande’s post, “How to make iPhone videos sparkle with…

  • Holiday Video Fun with an iPhone and iMovie 09

    This afternoon my 9 year old daughter planned, directed, and starred in her third cooking program in a series she has titled, “The International Cooking Show.” This time around she demonstrated how to cook holiday sausage balls, and had her younger sister participate in the program as well.

  • An iPhone-recorded International Cooking Show Episode

    Cross-posted to Learning Signs, linked from the International Cooking Show project wiki.

  • Episode 1 of the International Cooking Show

One of my favorite finds was Garrett’s Popcorn Shop! Garrett’s is not the only great…

  • Sausage Balls: The Culinary Delight of the Holiday Season

    Rachel and I enjoyed making sausage balls several times for our family during the holidays this year. We took several photos (and had family members snap a few pictures) during the cooking process, so we could make a VoiceThread about cooking sausage balls. This reminds me of “how to” essays I helped my students write…

  • Show notes from Mom

    I’ve added my most extensive list of show notes EVER for my last podcast interview with my mother, which focused on milblogging, cookery blogs, and the ways people remain lifetime learners and users of technology when they have motivating PURPOSES to use technology. Thanks for all the links, Mom! 🙂 If you enjoyed this post…

  • Great Prime Rib!

    This is the recipe I used this past Christmas to successfully cook a quite succulent prime rib for our Lubbock family. Turkey pales in comparison to the amazing flavor of a well-cooked prime rib! 🙂 If you enjoyed this post and found it useful, subscribe to Wes’ free newsletter. Check out Wes’ video tutorial library,…
